1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
1-17
Note 2: When the range is set to other than 72 or 96 NM and [TRUE VIEW] in the
[ECHO 2/2] menu is set to [ON], echoes are displayed smoothly with high-speed turns.
However, the wiper and zoom functions are disabled.
STAB HEAD UP mode
Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the HEAD UP mode. The difference
from normal HEAD UP presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing scale. The
bearing scale is heading sensor stabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the
heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship's heading at a glance.
This mode is available when the radar is interfaced with a gyrocompass. If the gyro-
compass fails, the bearing scale returns to HEAD UP mode.
STERN UP mode
The STERN UP mode rotates the HEAD UP mode pic-
ture, relative and true bearings and display graphics
180°. This mode is useful on dual-radar tugboats when
backing up; one radar shows HEAD UP and another
shows STERN UP. To enable the STERN UP mode, turn
on [STERN UP] on the [OPERATION] menu.
COURSE UP mode
The radar picture is stabilized and displayed with the cur-
rently selected course at the top of the screen. When you
change the heading, the heading line moves with the
course selected. If you select a new course, select the
course up mode again to display the new course at the
top of the display. Targets are shown at their measured
distances and their directions relative to the set course,
which is at the 0-degree position. The picture is stable
even with yawing or course changes.
GO TO UP mode
When a waypoint is set as a destination, the waypoint appears at the top of the screen.
When the waypoint is no longer a destination, the presentation mode is reset to HEAD
UP mode.
NORTH UP mode
Targets are shown at their measured distances and their
true (compass) directions from your ship. North is at the
top of the screen. The heading line changes its direction
according to your heading.
True motion mode
Your ship and other objects in motion move with their true
courses and speed. All fixed targets, like landmasses,
appear as fixed echoes in ground stabilized TM. When
your ship reaches a point that is 50% of the radius of the
display, the position is reset. The ship appears at 75% radius opposite to the extension
